David Warren: Thomas Sowell like Solzhenitsyn

April 8, 2009 By admin

David Warren writes:

Now, Professor Sowell is only one of many living heroes, and I mention him today because he is so often casually vilified, demonized, derided and condescended to by “progressive” people, including many fellow blacks, as if he were an Uncle Tom, when he is no such thing.

Clarence Thomas, the U.S. Supreme Court justice who is another of my living heroes, recalled throwing a book by Sowell in the trash, in his young radical days. In Justice Thomas’s memoir, My Grandfather’s Son, a parallel story is told of wrestling with, then finally breaking through, the political myths that have provided the greatest obstacle to the genuine liberation of “African America.”
